AI Technical Summary
When pouring large volumes of concrete during the low-temperature season, existing passive insulation measures are easily affected by the liquid water in the newly poured concrete and rainfall, resulting in a reduction in insulation effect. In addition, the surface temperature of the pouring chamber is low during strong cold waves or sustained low temperatures, which affects the hydration reaction rate and increases the risk of concrete cracking. At the same time, surface wind speed can lead to the appearance of drying shrinkage cracks.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building engineering technology, specifically to an active-passive combined heat preservation device for the surface of a large-volume concrete pouring silo, which is particularly suitable for concrete heat preservation during construction in low-temperature environments. Background Technology
[0002] When pouring large volumes of concrete during cold seasons, the hydration of cement releases heat, causing the internal temperature of the concrete to rise. Due to concrete's poor thermal conductivity, the surface temperature drops rapidly under the influence of low ambient temperatures, resulting in a significant temperature difference between the inside and outside. When this temperature difference exceeds permissible limits, it generates substantial tensile stress on the concrete surface, easily leading to cracking. Therefore, controlling the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the concrete during cold seasons is a crucial aspect of temperature control and crack prevention for large-volume concrete pours.
[0003] In order to control the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the concrete pouring chamber when pouring concrete in low-temperature seasons, insulation materials such as straw bags, insulation blankets, insulation polystyrene boards, and rubber and plastic sponges are commonly used for insulation.
[0004] Engineering practice shows that using straw bags and insulation blankets for insulation is susceptible to the effects of liquid water from newly poured concrete and rainfall, which can cause the straw bags and insulation blankets to become damp or wet, resulting in reduced or even lost insulation performance.
[0005] Whether using straw bags, insulating blankets, or insulating polystyrene boards and rubber-plastic foam, these are all passive insulation measures. If the insulation effect is not strong enough, the surface temperature of the pouring trough may still be low when encountering strong cold waves or sustained low temperatures, which will affect the cement hydration reaction rate of the concrete in the pouring trough, slow down the development of concrete performance, and thus increase the risk of concrete cracking.
[0006] In addition, the above-mentioned insulation measures are mainly for the surface insulation of the casting silo. Engineering practice shows that in the low-temperature season, if the wind speed on the silo surface is high, it is easy for the moisture on the surface of the casting silo to dissipate quickly, causing the surface to dry and shrink, which can easily lead to shrinkage cracks.
[0007] In summary, developing a thermal insulation measure for large-volume concrete structures that transforms passive insulation into active insulation, retains moisture while providing insulation, is easy to operate, and is reusable is of significant engineering importance. Utility Model Content
[0008] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an active-passive combined insulation device for the surface of a large-volume concrete pouring silo.
[0009] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0010] An active-passive combined thermal insulation device for the surface of a large-volume concrete pouring silo includes a film, a first tarpaulin fixedly connected to the upper side of the film, an insulation layer fixedly connected to the first tarpaulin, and a frame fixedly connected to the insulation layer.
[0011] The frame is provided with multiple columns, each column is fixedly connected to a horizontal bar by several iron nails, and the horizontal bar is fixedly connected to a vertical bar by several iron nails.
[0012] Multiple first heaters and multiple second heaters are fixedly installed on the insulation layer. The air outlets of the first heaters at the four adjacent corners of the insulation layer are placed vertically, and the air outlets of the multiple second heaters on both sides of the middle of the insulation layer are set in the direction of the airflow according to the air outlet direction of the first heaters.
[0013] The frame is equipped with multiple first thermometers, which detect the air temperature inside the frame on one side of the insulation layer.
[0014] The bottom of the membrane is covered on sealed concrete, and multiple second thermometers are embedded in the concrete to detect the temperature inside the concrete.
[0015] The outer side of the frame is fixedly covered with a second tarpaulin.
[0016] The second tarpaulin is made of polyethylene and is used for waterproofing.
[0017] The frame is made of wood.
[0018] The bottom edge of the second tarpaulin is fixedly and sealed to the bottom edge of the first tarpaulin, and the second tarpaulin and the first tarpaulin form a closed space to prevent moisture from entering the insulation layer.
[0019] Preferably, after the first heater blows air out from the four adjacent corners of the insulation layer, it can form an airflow circulation inside the frame and evenly heat all parts inside the frame. The second heater enhances the even heating of the air in the middle part inside the frame.
[0020] Alternatively, the film can be applied tightly to the surface of the large-volume concrete pouring area to prevent moisture loss from the concrete surface. In winter, rapid moisture loss can affect the cement hydration reaction and consequently the strength gain of the concrete; this layer plays a crucial role in retaining moisture.
[0021] Alternatively, a first tarpaulin is placed over the film to prevent moisture from the concrete surface from wetting the insulation layer. During winter construction, condensation may occur on both the concrete and film surfaces; this layer effectively prevents the insulation layer from becoming damp and reducing its insulation performance.
[0022] Alternatively, an insulation layer may be placed above the first tarpaulin to insulate the concrete.
[0023] Alternatively, the heaters can be evenly installed above the insulation layer to heat the air inside the frame.
[0024] Alternatively, the frame includes uprights, horizontal bars, vertical bars, and nails, with the uprights, horizontal bars, and vertical bars fixedly connected by the nails. The frame is used to support the upper second tarpaulin.
[0025] As a further option, a second tarpaulin is placed over the frame to prevent the warm air blown out by the heater from escaping, and also to protect against wind and rain.
[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0027] 1. This insulation measure effectively improves the insulation and moisture retention of large-volume concrete surfaces through the synergistic effect of multiple measures, including a thin film to prevent moisture loss from the concrete, a first and second tarpaulin to prevent the insulation layer from getting wet, insulation layer insulation, first and second heaters for heating, and an upper tarpaulin to prevent heat loss and wind protection. It also reduces temperature stress and surface shrinkage, prevents concrete cracks, and ensures the durability and safety of the concrete structure.
[0028] 2. This device and method are simple to operate and easy to implement. The steps are in a reasonable sequence. The materials used are all common building materials. It can be used for timely insulation treatment after the concrete is poured. Furthermore, each component can be reused, which improves construction efficiency and reduces construction costs.
